Has anyone at Magpul other than a sales exec made an official statement on this anywhere on their web site or Facebook page?  All I've seen so far is one post from that guy on ARFCOM, and it was a post that could easily be misinterpreted.   And true to form on ARFCOM, that one post inspired a legion of morons to pick up pitchforks and torches.   I'm convinced that the one thing keeping stupidity in check in our society right now is ARFCOM.  If that site ever goes tits up, there's going to be a sudden rapid uptick in breeding between really stupid people who suddenly have nothing else better to do.  People who currently spend every waking hour self-flagellating to pictures of Navy SEALS, nitpicking and fawning over the pieces of kit they see.

  The Internet has made it entirely possible for herds of dumb people to malign good businesses based on half-informed, knee-jerk assessments clouded with emotion and untempered by intelligence.  It's our job as SMART people to not instinctively parrot what we see on ARFCOM and Facebook, and research the claims being made before contributing more mass to the dog pile.   But people rarely do that.  :(

What I've read suggests that basically they're saying their distributors that sell to those states are still free to do so, which really makes sense.  Magpul is hardly able to dictate to it's distributors who they can sell to.   What I've also read suggests that Magpul's stance still stands that they will not directly sell to departments or agencies or government entities in those states.  The people who are getting wrapped around the axle are using Magpul's offer to move LEO/MIL to the head of the line to combat THEIR shortage of essential gear, and saying that this means they're selling to LEO/MIL in those "ban states".   I've yet to read anything from Magpul that says they're directly selling "standard capacity" mags to LEO/MIL in ban states and that the rest of us can go fist ourselves.

There have been a lot of orders today so I know the system isn't broken.  Try clearing your browser cache and try again.

Thanks all.   I'm anxiously awaiting the shipment from our printer.

Those links don't work.  They require a login.

  Lame.  Very, very lame.  Why not respect the spirit of what they're doing instead of pushing yourself to the front of the line?

  If you lived in Colorado you'd feel a lot different about this.

Moved to the Ammo forum.  Please be mindful of where you're posting.

  To be fair, atheists don't have a say in the matter of their tax dollars putting the Christian Bible on library shelves either.

It's actually hydro-dip not drip.   I've seen and held several AR's that were done with this technique and they looked great.  I have no idea how long the finish would hold up.

The "Keep Calm" decals will definitely get produced if we can get enough of this design out the door.   Right now I think the most important message we can get out there is for these gun grabbing politicrats to keep their f'n hands off of our f'n guns.  This design kinda puts that out there.  :)

Got word back from the printing company this evening... and it's a GO.  Spread the word!  :D

Based off of the feedback we received in my other thread, I decided to do a few things different and have sent these out to be printed.     1.  We were talking about two sizes previously.  4x6 inch and 2.25 x 3.50 inch.  The 3x5 inch design is a happy medium between those two and allows us to keep the cost down by not having to produce multiples of 500 of each.   2.  I ditched the funky font since it was somewhat polarizing.  Most folks liked it, some folks hated it.  Some folks wanted the font to be bolder.  Well, we all win with this font I think.  If you disagree, sorry.  It is what it is now.   3.  I'd love to see these go national just because I think it's a cool design and I think any chance we get to send the middle-finger back at the gun grabbers and remind them that the Second Amendment isn't an option and isn't about hunting is a good thing.  Feel free to spread this out all over Facebook and other forums if you're allowed to do so.  We'll ship out as many of these as we sell.  I may see about making sure these end up in some local gun shops as well, starting with some of TGO's vendors.   Vendors, contact me if you want to buy some to put in your shops.

Another reason why our Trading Post is pretty awesome.  :D

Starting a new thread for this and will start taking orders soon.  Watch for the new thread later today.

  No, I've got this covered.  I don't need or want a bunch of complications in this.   Thanks though.

Very interesting read.

  Can't help you there.  If I did a decal exactly the way everyone wanted it, I'd have about 17,000 versions of it.

  It's interesting how people see differences in fonts.  I see rugged character, time tested, worn, battle proven... legacy.  You see fading away.  Probably because both of these are true?

T-Shirts keep coming up but we're seriously not ready to do them yet.  Until I find a company that can do on-the-fly production, with good quality, and do complete order fulfillment it's just not an option yet.  I work about 50 hours a week at my "day job" and TGO gets what time I don't give my family.  I just don't have the kind of free time it takes to do shirt orders.

Sunday Morning Update... Please take a look at the first post in this thread again and vote once more on the poll. I came up with a design that I think maybe is more in tune with what's going on in the political space right now and represents our desire to see the Second Amendment not infringed upon. We need to decide which of these to produce first. Both stand a good chance of being produced in time, but if we had one choice which would it be? Here's the new design:

No Android devices here so I cannot test to confirm.  Nothing has changed on the server in the past 2 weeks.  Try clearing your browser cache, or force-close all instances of your browser and try again.   Several folks had Android related problems recently and determined that killing the browser and then reloading TGO's pages fixed it.

OK... I modified the poll so please go back and vote again.   Sizes would be:   4.00 x 6.00 inches @ $4.50 each 2.25 x 3.50 inches @ $3.50 each   I'll place an initial order on Monday based off of response.   We need to sell at least 100 of these in any combination in order to make it worth doing.
